A typical day

Got an energetic pet? Perfect, I love helping them burn off that energy with long walks around the neighborhood or nearby parks, paired with plenty of playtime! If your pet is more of a laid-back lounger, that’s great too. I believe every pet benefits from a bit of movement, so we’ll take a nice, gentle walk followed by a cozy cuddle session to wind down.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, whether they’re bouncy pups, gentle seniors, or curious cats. I know every pet has their own quirks and comforts, so I take the time to understand what makes them happiest. As a proud pet parent to two of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry family member. I’m adaptable, mindful, and treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, play, and plenty of love. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, quiet company, or making sure meds are given on time, my goal is to keep tails wagging (or purring!) until you’re back home. I look forward to meeting your best friend and providing them with the thoughtful, reliable care they deserve.

Thank you Kaia for taking such good care of Miles and Lucy while we were away. You really put our minds at ease knowing they were in your care, and the daily updates much appreciated.

The first time I was able to truly relax on vacation because Kaia once again took such wonderful care of our two golden retrievers. The daily check ins with pics of walks and play and cuddles put my mind at ease, and they LOVE her.

Kaia is so great with our energetic pair of golden retrievers. They love her attentiveness, play, and sniff safaris. She also keeps me updated on their care and her stay, and this puts my mind at ease when we’re traveling.
